Which atmospheric effect increases when continental Rossby waves amplify near the equator?

💡 Explanation

Increased Rossby wave amplitude amplifies the **vertical wind shear** on tropical cyclones because the Coriolis Effect drives stronger latitudinal wind variations; therefore, storm development distorts rather than strengthens, unlike heat transfer driven by balanced pressure gradients.
